      Boss Mikel Arteta has successfully deployed centre-half Ben White in the position for most of this campaign.
      But Arsenal are keen to recruit a more attacking option ahead of next season.
      According to Sky Germany, Baku has impressed Gunners scouts this term.
      They add that Baku is interested in departing Wolfsburg this summer and that a move to the Premier League would be an attractive proposition.

      And he could be available for just £13million.

      The four-cap Germany international has scored five goals in 26 appearances this season.
      All five of his strikes came in a sensational six-game winning streak either side of the World Cup.

      Baku has played 105 times since moving from Mainz in 2020, scoring 16 goals and laying on 14 assists in that time.
      In addition to White, the Gunners still have Takehiro Tomiyasu as a right-back option.
      But the 24-year-old has largely fallen out of favour this season, starting just six Premier League games.
      The Japanese international was ruled out for the remainder of the campaign last month after suffering a knee injury.

      SunSport told you last month the Manchester City legend was a surprise name on Levy’s shortlist.
      But Spurs chiefs have received glowing reports after a stunning season saw the Clarets promoted in record time.
      And Kompany is increasingly seen as the manager who can give the club a new dimension.
      Spurs have watched how Mikel Arteta has transformed bitter rivals Arsenal into Premier League title contenders having spent three years working as Pep Guardiola’s No 2 at City.
      READ MORE ON FOOTBALL
      Kompany spent the same amount of time as captain under Guardiola before becoming Anderlecht manager in 2019.
      He won two of his four Premier League crowns with Guardiola — who has tipped him as a future Etihad boss.
      Spurs are also considering Julian Nagelsmann, Luis Enrique, Brendan Rodgers, Arne Slot and their former chief Mauricio Pochettino.
      But, crucially for Levy, Kompany made Burnley the Championship’s most entertaining side after putting almost a whole new squad together.

      And Kompany is believed to be ready to listen if Spurs make a move as he fears the Clarets may not have the funds to tackle the Prem.
      Levy wants to get a new boss lined up quickly with Harry Kane’s future again in doubt and the club facing a battle to finish in the top four.
      They are three points behind Newcastle and Manchester United but have played a game more.
      Conte was sacked in March after weeks of uncertainty.
      The final straw came when the Italian boss, 53, launched an astonishing attack on his ‘selfish’ Spurs flops after the 3-3 draw at Southampton.
      His assistant Cristian Stellini has become the acting head coach at Tottenham for the remainder of the season.
      Former Premier League midfielder Ryan Mason is the Italian’s assistant head coach as the pair look to rejuvenate Spurs and finish in this season’s Champions League spots.

      De Gea, 32, is out of contract this summer — although United do have an option to extend  for a further 12 months.
      But he said: “It is time just to be focused as we play many games in a row.
      “It is not time to lose focus and think about contracts. My aim is to  keep going and play my best.”
      De Gea insists he is still one of the top flight’s best goalkeepers, despite question marks over his distribution.

      The Spaniard argues that  clean sheets are  the vital stat — and he has the most in the Premier League alongside Newcastle’s Nick Pope on 13.
      In all competitions, he boasts 20, second only to Barcelona’s Marc-Andre ter Stegen (23).
      And De Gea, who joined United in 2011 from Atletico Madrid for £17.8million, said: “When we keep a clean sheet, it means the team and I did a good job.
      “But criticism is always there, you cannot please everyone. I have 20 clean sheets, close to the most in Europe, so we are doing a great job  and I help the team do it.”

      Despite an impressive return from injury, interim boss Frank Lampard then caused a stir when he left the star out of the team for last weekend’s defeat at Wolves.
      Kante has been recalled to the side for Chelsea’s Champions League quarter-final first-leg clash at Real Madrid tonight.
      His future, however, has been back in the headlines ahead of the showdown with the LaLiga giants.
      The former Leicester City ace will become a free agent this summer when his current deal expires in June.

      Le Parisien have now claimed that a source from the player’s camp has told them that now looks like the likely scenario.
      But they have also dropped a transfer bombshell by claiming that Chelsea’s bitter rivals Arsenal are also attempting to hijack those plans and snatch him on a freebie.

      Mikel Arteta was linked with a move for the ace last summer but that transfer failed to materialise.
